It sits within the IT Infrastructure team and works closely with Cybersecurity, with a clear emphasis on execution-addressing vulnerabilities, improving patching cycles, and ensuring systems are securely configured across Windows and Linux environments. A key priority for this role is reducing a significant backlog of vulnerabilities and improving how remediation is delivered at scale. The role also takes ownership of initiatives such as certificate lifecycle management and the effective use of security platforms including Privileged Access Management and Cloudflare. This is a hands-on position where success is measured by tangible improvements in security posture and operational resilience. This role suits a senior infrastructure professional who enjoys working across multiple systems, solving practical security challenges, and taking ownership of outcomes. It offers the opportunity to work on high-impact issues with visibility across teams, making it well-suited to candidates looking to broaden their security exposure while remaining close to infrastructure. Why should you apply? * Direct ownership of vulnerability remediation, with clear impact on reducing backlog and improving security outcomes * Opportunity to work on certificate lifecycle management, a high-demand and often underrepresented skillset * Hands-on role combining infrastructure and security, rather than a purely advisory or monitoring position * Broad exposure across enterprise systems, security tools, and cross-functional teams * Ability to influence how security is implemented and improved at scale, not just maintain existing processes, As part of our recruitment process, we carry out identity checks on all candidates. Offers of employment are conditional upon the completion of satisfactory background checks prior to the commencement of work. These checks may include verification of identity, right to work in the UK, employment history, and other relevant pre-employment screening. Please note that additional checks may be required depending on the nature of the role and the jurisdiction in which the role is based or operates. These may include, but are not limited to, criminal record checks or financial background checks where applicable. ## Related Videos - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Fireside Chat with Cloudflare's Chief Strategy Officer, Stephanie Cohen (with Mike Butcher MBE)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1366-fireside-chat-with-cloudflare-s-chief-strategy-officer-stephanie-cohen-with-mike-butcher-mbe) - [Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/511-our-journey-with-spring-boot-in-a-microservice-architecture) - [Technical Documentation - How Can I Write Them Better and Why Should I Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/681-technical-documentation-how-can-i-write-them-better-and-why-should-i-care) - [Hacking MSSQL on Cloud.
